This logical argument doesn't work. There's evidently no such lull,
do you have evidence for that claim? eddy at least provided anecdotes.
nor does putting the type-meta-modifiers next to the variable name
result in a deeper understanding of how declarators work
not as such, but each time someone asks about/doubts the current style,
they get educated.
